Age friendly because it is a condo complex where many retirees live. There is even a section for those who are 55 years of age and older. The town also has good senior activities.
The area I live in is mostly dead end streets.so there's not a lot of traffic,the terrain is kind of wooded in so it's a perfect location to raise children.ithink it's all age appropriate
some elderly housing, tax breaks for low income, wonderful senior center, some rides for certain event. free check ups for hearing, sight and other issues a few times a year. wonderful, caring people in town are ready to help. youth programs that attend to elderly needs as well as many churches that have special programs for the elderly. On the other hand they lack of good transportion for elderly, expensive ambulance services that town provides, lack of good hospital care in town, most elderly have to go to another town for hospital care. poorly run food bank for the aged and very little meals on wheels type of service. Have no help when it comes to employment or retraining for the elderly.
I think age friendly, people is nice and like to talk.
A wonderful combination of stores, history, crazy people and interesting architecture is found here with some very friendly people and a bunch appealing to all ages.
i live in a federally subsidized building for seniors and disabled. its on a quiet street and peaceful here. i like the peace and quiet and the neighbors are very helpful and friendly
I believe the neighborhood is age-friendly. Nevins Adult Care Center is close by. There is also a ride service that the elderly can use for a reduced price.
Age unfriendly because there is poor transit service, poorly maintained sidewalks. Large parking lots. Pharmacies are somewhat close though. Traffic in the neighborhood is terrible. Supermarket is approximately 1 mile away.
a lot of the same age people live here there is alsri a new group of professionals moving in all the time it is also very diverse which makes it interesting
some nasty neighbors very crabby insulting and noisy. alwys one that stands out critizies and insults not called for cannot leave house not very dog friendly although he has two dogs of his own.
